Psalm 119:131

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

I honestly want to know everything you teach.

See the chapter Copy

My words were eagerly accepted like the showers of spring,

We are slaves in search of shade; we are labourers longing for our wages.

because they bring happiness like treasures taken in war.

I am waiting for you to save me, LORD. Your Law makes me happy.

What I want most of all and at all times is to honour your laws.

I long for your teachings. Be true to yourself and let me live.

As a deer gets thirsty for streams of water, I truly am thirsty for you, my God.

I am the LORD your God. I rescued you from Egypt. Just ask, and I will give you whatever you need.

Try to live at peace with everyone! Live a clean life. If you don't, you will never see the Lord.

Be like newborn babies who are thirsty for the pure spiritual milk that will help you grow and be saved.
